Voice typing in
Slack.
Slack moves at conversation speed but asks for typed answers. Dictate them: standup updates, quick decisions, the long context nobody wants to thumb out. Fastspoken lands it in the message box, formatted as plain text.
Three steps, once
1. Install.
Download Fastspoken and follow the four-step setup. No account needed for the free plan.
2. Open Slack.
Put the cursor where words should go, exactly like you were about to type.
3. Tap and talk.
Tap the bubble, speak like a person. Whole sentences land at the cursor about two seconds after each breath.
Longer messages benefit most: a three-sentence update is ten seconds of talking instead of a minute of typing.
Private in Slack, by architecture.
Fastspoken works through Android's keyboard layer, so Slack just receives typed text, exactly as if you had used the keyboard. On the free plan your speech becomes text on the phone itself: offline, no account, and your words never touch a server. See the whole machine.
No server in the loop on the free plan.
Questions about Slack
Does it work in threads and DMs?
Yes, any Slack text field: channels, threads, DMs, even the search box.
Will my workspace admin see anything?
Nothing new. Slack receives ordinary typed text. On the free plan your audio never leaves your phone.
